after a while, nato took the mission into something different. it is important to remember how it started. it is a fair question to say -- why did you act in libya in this circumstance under the doctrine, if you will, under the principle, if you will, of the responsibility do protect noncombatants? why did you choose to do that in libya and not choose to do that in other places? each circumstance is significantly different. it has to be measured on its own merit. it also addresses the limits of power. military power does not solve all problems. there was a un security council resolution that called for its mission and authorized all available means. in syria, there is no such security council resolution that would provide the legal underpinnings for an operation in syria similar to what was conducted in libya. great question, but there are significant differences. syria is not in my region. i am a long, long way from being a syrian expert. that is how i kind of see the difference. >> thank you, dr. scott. general. on the president of it organize
